Well, I wake up in the morning, hear the ding dong ring
You go a marching to the table, you see the same old thing
Baby all I wanna tell ya, I'm like a pork in the pan
And if you say a thing about it, you're in trouble with the man
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine it's ever lovin' light on me
Yes let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine it's ever lovin' light on me
If you ever go to Houston then you better walk alright
Yuo better not stagger and you better not fight
'Cause sheriff Benson will arrest you, he'll carry you on down
And if the jury finds you guilty you're penitentiary bound
So the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine it's ever lovin' light on me
A yonder comes Miss Rosey, how I wonder did you know
Well I know about her apron, and the dress she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder piece of paper in her hand
She goes a walkin' to the captain says I'm losin' my man
So let the midnight special shine it's light on me
Let the midnight special shine it's ever lovin' light on me
Let the midnight special shine it's light on me
Let the midnight special shine it's ever lovin' light on me
Let the midnight special shine it's light on me...
